- 1). Respect your employer's wishes in the workplace. Your employer may choose to decorate in a manner that reflects the upcoming Hanukkah holiday, display a Christmas tree for the sake of Christian employees and customers or avoid holiday decorations of any kind. Follow your employer's lead for outward gestures.
- 2). Include your employer in your workplace holiday gift-giving. Select a gift with a nonreligious theme and wrap it in holiday paper. Choose colors such as silver and blue, red and gold or other appealing designs rather than those featuring a nativity scene or Santa Claus.
- 3). Choose a card that simply says "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas." Since it is the time of an important Jewish holiday, as well as a Christian one, you can't go wrong with "Happy Holidays."
- 4). Invite your employer out to a holiday lunch. It doesn't have to be a Christmas luncheon, however, with all of the turkey and trimmings. Opt for an Asian restaurant instead, something many Jewish families enjoy on Christmas Day when most other businesses are closed.
